into the lobby and begun to examine very
infinitely the stand of photographs, espe-

Crane as the two DrOmios. They seemed
quite interested, and although | could
not hear the conversation / could see
plainly that they were engaged in warm
argument. One OF them would direct the
others attention TO particular points about
the photographs and insist upon his view,
while the other would as strongly deny
the possibility of its being correct. Final.
